The War of L'Manburg

Chapter 7: This is War

"Look George, everything the light touches is our kingdom. King's time as a ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, George, the sun will set on my time here and rise with you as the new king."

A distant yet loud BOOM woke Wilbur in the middle of the night. He looked out his window but saw nothing. Fatigue pulled him back into the deep blanket of sleep. 

THE NEXT DAY

Wilbur woke up and curious about the sound during the night, looked out his window. "Tommy! Tommy!" he screamed.

"What is it?" Tommy asked, running out of the other room, rubbing his eyes. He stopped in his tracks. "Oh my god."

TNT cannons surrounded L'Manberg's walls. Smoke was rising from somewhere in the distance. "What happened?" Wilbur asked, mostly to himself.

"You heard that boom sound last night right?" Tommy said. They both stood there in shock. There was a knock at the door.

"I bring a message from Dream himself." A messenger stood at the door of L'Manberg's caravan.

What could it be? "I have something for Dream," Wilbur said. "Let's swap books, take this to him." Wilbur handed the unnamed messenger L'Manberg's Declaration of Independence. Though disturbed by recent events, he still felt so proud of their accomplishments. Dream had called their great nation a silly idea. What would he say now that they had officially declared themselves an independent nation? Wilbur would love to see his reaction to the book.

"What is it?" Tommy and Tubbo asked at the same time. Fundy and Eret were in the caravan as well.

Wilbur opened the book and initially couldn't comprehend what he was reading. His heart rate suddenly peeked and he felt sick.

DreamSMP declares war on la'manburg

JOINT RESOLUTION

--PUNZ

--SAPNAP

--DREAM

Wilbur was disgusted by the fact that Dream and his men didn't even bother to spell their nation's name correctly. However, it got worse. There was also a video message. Dream and Sapnap, dressed in full battle armor, were standing in front of a building that was burned beyond recognition.

"Tommy, and Wilbur, and the rest of L'Manchildberg (Wilbur had no idea what that was supposed to mean) we are at war. There is no mercy, we have burnt down Tubbo's house, we have planted TNT canons around your land, we have cobble stone walled the outside and we have shot one warning shot inside your walls. WE HAVE NO MERCY! NO MERCY FOR YOU! WE WILL BURN DOWN YOUR HOUSES! WE WILL KILL EVERYTHING INSIDE YOU WALLS! AND WE WILL TAKE BACK THE LAND THAT IS RIGHTFULLY OURS, IF YOU DO NOT SURRENDER! I WANT TO SEE WHITE FLAGS, WHITE FLAGS OUTSIDE YOUR BASE, BY TOMORROW, AT DAWN, OR YOU ARE DEAD!!!"

Now Wilbur understood the smoke and the TNT canons.

"No!" Tubbo exclaimed. Tommy just stood there in shock.

"Gentlemen, we are in a state of war," Eret said. 

"Men, this is not something to fear," Wilbur said. He needed to stay strong, for his people. "This is how we consolidate our power. This is how we show them we are a true nation." The others started nodding.
